Kayson was stunned as he walked in.
“The Hamiltons?”
Precisely. A sign that spelled the words “Hamilton Manor” was hanging by the entrance of the manor Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kayson‘s expression was cold as he frowned. Could the Hamiltons have ordered the culprit to poison Cecile and Shyla? In that case, he was not letting them off the hook, even if Zachary stepped in!
Shyla could not help wondering, “Northspring‘s Hamiltons… The Hamiltons poisoned me? That can’t be… The Tinsleys have never offended the Hamiltons!”
Then, a loud boom came from the deepest part of the manor before a thick billow of smoke rose.
As Kayson raked the area with his mind expansion ability, there was a subtle change in his expression. Then, he told the girls seriously, “Try to go where the smoke is as soon as you can. I‘ll rush there first!”
Amid the sound of a thunderbolt, Kayson sprinted off like a flash of lightning.Moments later, he reached a lavish courtyard, but as soon as he stepped in, he was greeted by scattered corpses and blood everywhere.An old man with dark eye circles wearing plain gray clothes was stepping on a dead body while carrying a half–dead person. The globule of black energy that had led Kayson over there was fusing with this old man.“Trektus from the philosophical branch?”The old man looked grim. “Kayson, you know a philosophy technique!”“You know me?” Kayson exclaimed. “Of course!” The old man said unnervingly, “I was planning to work with Fernando, yet you killed him.“Kayson, you ruined my plan, yet you dare get in my way today. You really have a death wish.” Kayson narrowed his eyes. “So you‘re avenging Fernando? That‘s why you poisoned the
girls?”“Humph, I was just testing how good you are. I think through my steps before I execute them.”Kayson replied flatly, “You shouldn‘t have done anything to them. Otherwise, you‘d still have a chance to stay alive.”“Hahaha!”The old man tossed a half–dead Hamilton to Kayson and scoffed, “I, Claude Powell, have been alive for years, and this is the first time I’ve met an arrogant kid like you!”
He blew a mouthful of black smoke at Kayson right after saying that. His exhale was as pungent as burning plastic.Kayson let out a low–toned shout before he transformed his energy into a billowing gale to bounce the toxic air away.Claude was not surprised. “As expected of a pre–celestial practitioner. You‘re so young, yet you manipulate your energy so easily. You‘re practically a peerless prodigy. “It‘s a pity that you‘ve underestimated my poison energy.” Claude stomped the floor, causing a crack to slither toward Kayson as dark clouds of poison energy rose from the crack like steam.Kayson directed his lightning energy at his feet and stepped back while he stomped away at the poison mass.Claude snorted and suddenly slammed his palm on the floor.The whole floor was fissuring as lasses of poison energy poured over and engulfed Kayson, turning his skin purplish–black. Claude cackled. “Young man, you lack experience in practical fights. Given the short distance between us, I have been able to feel the return of the mind expansion power for a long time. “In that case, how could I possibly wait for you here without preparing?” Kayson stood rooted to the spot, and even his lips turned black.
